I met a lurker today

There's a '92 pearlie at one of the offices across the street. I keep meaning to leave a note on his windshield, but today I found myself driving to the office right behind him. So I pulled into his lot and followed him to a space. I got out, introduced myself, and told him about the club. I said I didn't have a card on me, but told him the address.

'Oh, yeah, I know that site. I go there whenever I have problems with the car.'

He's not a member, but I hope he joins and introduces himself. I always wonder how many people like him there are - people who, for some reason, get some of the benefits of the site but never say hi. I wish they would. We're not so bad.

Just about everyone I meet has been to the site, but hasn't registered. It's pretty discouraging.

I saw a black over pearl around my house 2 days ago. I left a note. I kept leaving notes. I saw one at the train station a few weeks back too. Another note.

I don't think it's discouraging - it shows that we have a real good respository of knowledge and experience, but we just don't offer enough on top of that to entice people to actually join.

Ken,

http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/show...ht=invite+card



These will print out on a regular business card template. There is another one that will print out bigger. I like the business card size better because they fit in my wallet better

Thank you for "coming out." This was my "second" online group. The first was the Yahoo SVX club, which I left to hang out here (as did most of the Yahoo Group).

Welcome, and please, join in when you feel like it. You're among a great bunch o' folks.
